Your interests are
only the beginning.
You know that feeling when someone understands the thing you’re excited about? That’s the idea behind HobbyMoot.
We’re building a place to make your interests discoverable. From your latest AI experiment to a lifelong love of model aircraft, find someone who’s curious about the same things.
You don’t have to join a club.
You don’t have to be an expert.
You just have to be interested.

A few things you might wonder
Good questions.
Is HobbyMoot ready to use?
Not just yet. This is a first look at what we’re building. Registration, interest search and messaging are planned for the service; they aren’t available on this page.
Do I have to meet people in person?
No. A conversation can stay online for as long as you like. Meeting up is something you can choose together, never a requirement.
What if I’m a complete beginner?
You’re welcome. An interest can be something you’re curious about, even if you haven’t started yet. We want to make room for beginners and people who enjoy sharing what they know.
Is this a dating site or an events directory?
Neither. HobbyMoot starts with shared interests. Conversations, collaboration and friendships may follow, but there’s no expectation to attend an event or find a date.
Will I need to share my real name or address?
The plan is to let you start with a username and interests. A real name or photo will be optional, and discovery will use an approximate location if you choose to add one, not a public street address.
HobbyMoot is coming soon
Your next great conversation
could start with “me too.”
We’re making a little space on the internet
for the things you could talk about for hours.
Still taking shape. Not open for registration just yet.
